Two new hotels, one of them a new-to-market brand, are proposed to sprout on part of a property previously envisioned as a flower shop on Midlothian Turnpike.
Henrico-based JP Hospitality wants to build two 110-room hotels as well as a one-story, 6,000-square-foot commercial building on a nearly 10-acre site at 9500 Midlothian Turnpike, per a site plan recently submitted to Chesterfield County.
One of the hotels is planned to be a Staybridge Suites, which is an extended-stay concept by IHG Hotels that doesn’t currently have a presence in the Richmond area, according to documents filed with the county. The other is expected to be a Courtyard by Marriott. The commercial building is intended for retail or restaurant operators.
Further details about the project, such as a construction timeline and anticipated cost, were unavailable.
Mayush Mehta, a regional vice president at JP Hospitality who is listed as a contact on the project’s site plan, didn’t respond to emails seeking comment.
Ratchet Designs is listed in project documents as the development’s civil engineer.
The hotels are at least the second development project to come to the property on Midlothian Turnpike near the Powhite Parkway interchange, which Strange’s Florist acquired years ago as 30-acre assemblage.
Sheetz is nearing completion on 3-acre section that the convenience store and gas station chain bought from an LLC tied to Strange’s earlier this year. A Sheetz spokesman said the store is expected to open next month.
Strange’s once planned to potentially establish a location on the Midlothian Turnpike site. The company ultimately moved away from those plans and shifted to selling the site in pieces. Strange’s, a long-running flower and garden retailer, has stores at 12111 West Broad St. and 3313 Mechanicsville Turnpike.

It was unclear whether JP Hospitality has purchased the vacant land where its project is planned to rise. The Strange’s-affliated LLC was still listed as the owner in online records as of Monday.
The JP Hospitality project site is set back from Midlothian Turnpike, behind car dealership Genesis of South Richmond at 9530 Midlothian Turnpike. The land is valued at $1.6 million, per online Chesterfield records.
The JP Hospitality website lists more than 20 hotels, nearly all of which are in Virginia, as operational or “under development.” Most hotels in the Old Dominion are in the Richmond region, and there’s also a property in Maryland, per the company’s website. The company operates brands like Hampton Inn by Hilton, Comfort Suites, Country Inn & Suites by Radisson and others.

That’s a great spot, good for Pepes and gives the area more options than murder hotel row further down Midlothian.
Past the Chippenham cloverleaf heading into Richmond is sex worker’s (and/or tweaker’s) row.
A drive past is like a casting call for a Jerry Springer audition.
The village of Midlothian has done an outstanding job in keeping hotels to its periphery.
